Adam Burns, Beer Patrol

You people need to meet and know Adam Burns.


He works at Reconciler in many capacities. 
His compassion is strong, his loyalty, fierce. 
He would choose no where else to be on weekday mornings. 
His vocabulary far exceeds yours, if you are thinking Urban Dictionary. 
You have much to learn from him.

When life is at an All Time Low, and maybe even levels out in the Low, our tendency is to "numb it out." Any and all economic classes do that.  Adam brings reminders to those feeling Low
He reminds, he sits, he listens, he translates, he connects, he gets fed up, he goes back, he encourages, he reminds and then reminds again: 
God is LOVE. Don't drink beer in church. You don't have to be numb. I will sit with you as you learn to feel. Choose hope. 

Listen to Adam, people.




*All of these words are my impressions of Adam's behavior and did not come from him. These words are a flimsy representation of the quality of his work.

Mr. Magic and My Eyebrows

So THIS happened the other day:

Mr. Magic trimmed my eyebrows.

And, y'all, not ONE person in my family noticed...whatever, it's still magical.

GLOW: A Women's Group

GLOW = God's Love Overflowing Within
Tuesday Morning Women's Group

We are GLOW.

We gather every Tuesday morning and offer safe space, hugs, laughter, and sharing.
Those are the rules.

We read from Jesus Calling, share the corresponding scriptures, then check in. The last 10 minutes we pass around essential oils, breathe into mindfulness, then close in prayer.

There is no shouting, yelling or cursing. I wish I could say there is no interrupting, but we ARE a group of women and sometimes we get excited and talk over each other, in the name of love of course.

We hold each other up all week, through thoughts and prayers, through lunch dates, through flurries of text messages, through Facebook messages.
It is essential and wonderful and important - just like the women.

That is who we are. We are GLOW.

This Woman's Worth (c) by Sunshine

This Woman's Worth

When you hear people say, A Woman's Worth,"
What do you think about?
I see a woman of virtue
Whose beauty shines inside and out.

It doesn't matter how she looks
Or if she's big or small, 
The only thing that matters is her character
Her good, her bad, her all.

A woman worthy of being one
Is never hard to find.
And if you get one, treat her right,
For she's worth more than a gold mine.

If you ever, ever mistreat her, 
There's an enormous price to pay.
For her price is far above rubies
And that's what the Bible say.

A woman's worth is precious
And oh so very dear,
Be careful not to make her cry,
'Cause God counts every tear.

So now you know my secret
That I was blessed with from birth,
The thing that makes me a phenomenal woman
And it's called "A Woman's Worth!"
